— who is behind you screen?

 

I am 32 years old, French and was born near Paris. My family is originally from Brittany , North west of France, a Celtic country, with its own language and culture. Despite the fact I've lived the majority of my life in the parisian suburb, I am very proud of my Celtic origins and return to Brittany very often.

Brittany is the country of faeries, legends, Merlin and Broceliand. The forests are full of whispered tales , which I read at length during my childhood. I have a thing for the *magical*.

 

After passing my *baccalaureat* I went to university. I studied German, English, Law, economics and even Japanese for a year. Always had a thing for Japan and China. One of my favourite author as a young teen was *Pearl Buck*.

 

Finally I got a degree. Soon after I left for Oxford, where I became an Au pair , interesting yet painful experience: I can not stand nursery rhymes anymore !!!! During that time in England I met my dear beloved. After a short period of time back to my native country , I finally returned to the UK and settled in London with my fiancé. I started my training as a language teacher and now teach in a secondary school. I like my job, but pupils and red tape sometimes make the whole thing quite tough. Still I am good at it !
